Region-dependent kinetics of IGly and IGABA. a: IGly kinetics. Focal application of glycine (1 mM, 0.5 s; triangles) elicited an IGly (EH = −85 mV) in IC (left) and HC (middle) astrocytes. Merged traces were peak aligned (right; a1). IC astrocytes exhibited longer rise time (a2; 10-90) and decay time (a3; 90-10) compared to HC astrocytes. b: IGABA kinetics. Focal application of GABA (1 mM, 0.5 s; triangles) elicited an IGABA (EH = −85 mV) in IC (left) and HC (middle) astrocytes. Merged traces were peak aligned (right; b1). IC astrocytes exhibited a shorter rise time compared to HC astrocytes (b2). The decay time was not significantly different (b3). The number of recorded cells (n) is given within the diagrams. Shown are mean values ± SEM
